Bug 415929 – net-mail/queue-repair should depend on dev-lang/python:2.*

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 405899
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Wolfgang Dann 2012-05-14 13:02:32 UTC]

the script uses python3 interpreter instead of python2
so postinstall of mail-mta/netqmail fails.


>>> Installing (9 of 10) mail-mta/netqmail-1.06
 * >>> SetUID: [chmod go-r] /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue ...                                          [ ok ]
 * Setting up the message queue hierarchy
  File "/usr/bin/queue-repair.py", line 69
    'queue' :           ('qmailq', 'qmail', 0750, 0),
                                               ^

Almost 3 years later this bug still remains... qmail-repair needs to be modified for > python 2.x or set to only use that version of python and no other. Thanks!

The move to python 3 as the default makes this more of an issue.

Created attachment 426266 [details, diff]
queue-repair-0.9.0-python3.patch

The attached patch fixes the Python 3 issues so the script is compatible with both Python 2 and 3.
